If this was happening in China, would you feel the same?

Ontario has a valid court order demanding that the protesters be removed. If they don’t voluntarily leave, how do you suggest that be done?


Hopefully not with "severe violence". Although the way some protesters talk, that's exactly what they want. There was an old guy from Saskatchewan a while ago telling people to bring their guns - it's time for a civil war. I will point out that he is not a trucker.

Canada still has restrictions in place due to covid. Just exiting a lockdown now, restaurants are open with 50% capacity. You can go to the movies but you can't buy popcorn there and you have to sit with the mask on the whole time.
Can someone explain to me how does it make sense that you can eat in a restaurant with 50% capacity but at the movies with 50% capacity, sitting apart from other people you cannot eat?
Also, DH was just on a flight to Toronto, packed, not a single empty seat, so AirCanada is not subject to the 50% capacity but cafeteria lady at work had to close her business?


That's your problem. The majority of Canadians (whatever they personally feel about the politicians) support vaccine mandates and the restrictions that are currently in place.

So who are these thousands of people in downtown Ottawa on the weekends?


Ottawa is like NYC but a bit smaller
One thing I learn about canadians lately ( particularly politicians ) is how provincial and unsophisticated they are.

You seem to think you swallowed the wisdom of the world, honey? I live in Ottawa, assure you it is not like NYC! I assure you those here on the weekend are not just going out.
I do agree that they are totally provincial and unsophisticated. I am from a European capital and lived in the DMV, Ottawans are like small-town Ohio folk, not that there is anything wrong with that.


I’m genuinely curious as to why you still don’t live in Europe

I fell in love with an American. The best thing that ever happened to me. I moved bcs I love him. Going on 30 years, I can honestly say that DH is the nicest husband and the best dad I could have ever imagined. At the time, I was in college and he got a job back in the States, so we choose to go where he got a job.


I’m the PP. Excellent reason! Thanks for the response.

So it's not a tiny percent supporting, nor an overwhelming percent opposing as stated in many of the previous posts.

I don’t care if 90% agree with them. They are undermining the authority of the lawful government. No government can exist in a state like that. The Canadian government needs to assert itself here, or it will lose all credibility. If people won’t respect a government, then they need to be shown why they should at least have a healthy fear of it in situations like this.

Yes, just Ontario. It is so frustrating to see/hear this reported ad all of Canada. Do the people reporting it and believing it really not know the difference between a Province and a Country?

+1 I have a good friend in Ottawa right near the bridge from Ontario to Quebec. One of the frustrations through all of this has been keeping the different restrictions straight between the two since her kids have had friends and activities in both places. And they have been stuck in this mess several times. Her neighborhood is similar to Capitol Hill with tons of people out walking, shopping etc. These people are all over and not at all limited to one area.

None of this is about mandates or vaccines. It’s an attempt to sow discord funded by reactionary groups in an attempt to hold on the power, and it’s working.

FWIW there is actually a poll on Canadian support for the truckers. 46% sympathize, rising to 61% among those 18 to 34.

So it's not a tiny percent supporting, nor an overwhelming percent opposing as stated in many of the previous posts.

Good God. ONTARIO has those restrictions. Not all of Canada. My province as been at full capacity for a while now. Vaccine mandate gone tomorrow night, masks March 1st.
